Song told a story (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lied

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'song' is the first definition.
(type of German song)

'told a story' is the second definition.
(telling stories can mean lying)

(Other definitions for lied that I've seen before include "Told an untruth" , "Produced pork pie" , "Stated falsely" , "Romantic song told a story" , "Told untruths; song" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
